Happy and Contented Dogs

When the dog is happy and contented, it will display a relaxed body language. Normally, the dog will hold its tail and ears in their natural position. Its muscles are always relaxed at this point.

Your pet can also be involved in a car accident. Therefore, you have to be prepared in any way to go into your wallet and give your pet the best care. Even though most vets have questions about pet insurance policies, having a health insurance for your pet will not be the worst.

Understanding Pet Insurance

With different surveys being carried out in most veterinary hospitals, you may be required to pay a premium that ranges between $20- $80 a month. The deductions may vary from $50 per incident to $ 500 per year. The insurance plans will also indicate the amount that the insurance company will be willing to pay for treatment. Sometimes you have to pay your vet for the services he has offered after which you can claim from the insurance company. However, veterinary clinics will not file insurance claims for you.

When you own a pet at home, you will be very happy because it will give you companionship at all times. However, the same pet comes with responsibilities. The most important one is giving your pet house training to avoid accidents. The process of training your dog to know how to maneuver in the house requires patience at the early stages. With that, you will be able to make your dog obedient and with house training tips.

You can always begin by tethering the puppy to you with a six foot leash while indoors without it being in a gated area. At this point, you need to be keen on the signs that the puppy will give when it wants to go outside. Some of the signs include:

    •    A beseeching look
    •    Pacing or circling
    •    Being suddenly distracted from the play
    •    Tugging on the leash suddenly
    •    Trying to get away from the leash

One day, when I was out hunting with my dog, I suddenly realized that my dog could not move. I was not able to know that some thorn had pricked the inner part of its foot. All the dog could do was lie down and groan in pain as it looked at me. I was however relieved when a friend of mine passed by with his dog. He was a vet and was able to help my dog get well.
The above story shows that it is not easy to know when your pet is in pain. Most animals are stoic. Inability to recognize these pains makes sit also difficult to treat the pets. Pets can't open their mouths and tell when they are in pain; that is the biggest challenge.

However, how do we ensure that we recognize when they are in pain and give the right treatment? In order to bring a solution to such cases, pain management is already an issue in the field of veterinary medicine. Different universities and societies that deal with research on animal pain are currently committed to studying pain and pain management in animals.

This could bring good news to those who have pets at home and have never known how to recognize pain in their pets and treat it. From the researches being done, it is advisable to speed the process of making your dog recover. Even if it is surgery, it should be speeded up so that the animal is relieved of pain. If it is relieved of stress, it is likely to live longer.
